Officer Zhang quickly noticed something amiss with the statement. He looked at Ming Li with a strange expression and pointed at the man beside her, asking, "You're saying he's the one who told you?"
Seeing Ming Li nod, Officer Zhang's lips twitched. He continued, "If he told you everything, why are you so badly injured?"
Ming Li paused for a moment, then replied, "I thought he was lying to me... so I beat him up again. Turns out I was a bit too rough, it wasn't intentional..."
Hearing this, the police officers were speechless.
Noticing the officers' peculiar gazes, Ming Li raised her eyebrows and asked, "Is there a problem?"
The officers remained silent.
Seeing no one respond, Ming Li's lips twitched. She sensed the awkward atmosphere and said, "Then I'll leave him to you. It's getting late, I should head back."
With that, Ming Li flickered and, before the police could react, she was gone from the abandoned warehouse.
Officer Zhang exclaimed, "Huh? Where did she go..."
Upon returning to the Ye family estate, Ming Li flipped effortlessly and landed in her own room.
A night passed.
The next day, as Ming Li went out, she sensed she was being followed.
After a moment of silence, Lin Qian (assuming this is a character change or misdirection for clarity) flashed and turned into a small alley.
The man who was closely following Ming Li narrowed his eyes. Fearing he would lose her, he quickly gave chase.
Entering the alley, the man wearing a baseball cap froze as he looked at the empty passage. Where did she go? Did he lose her? Damn it!
With a dark expression, the man pulled out his phone to report his situation. However, before he could even make the call, a clear, cold voice echoed from above him, "Looking for me?"
Startled, the man looked up immediately and saw a stunningly beautiful girl standing atop the tall wall.
The man frowned, sensing immediate danger, and turned to run.
However, before he could take two steps, he felt a sharp pain in his ankle. With a thud, he fell heavily to the ground, making intimate contact with the earth.
Ming Li calmly tossed a small pebble in her hand. Looking at the man sprawled on the ground, unable to get up, she thought to herself and told the system in her mind, "Call the police."
About ten minutes later, two police cars stopped at the alley entrance.
Officer Zhang, who walked in, had his mouth twitching. As he looked up, he saw the girl sitting on top of the wall. "Young lady, you've been calling the police quite frequently lately..."
Ming Li sighed helplessly and said, "I can't help it, someone was following me, so I had to ask for your help."
Hearing this, the officers looked at the man groaning on the ground, unable to rise, and their mouths twitched. Help? Are you sure?
Meeting their strange looks, Ming Li gave an awkward smile and explained, "I found him following me. He tried to run, so I hit him, but I didn't expect him to be so fragile..."
The police officers were speechless.
Seeing their silence, Ming Li paused and pointed at the man on the ground. "He was following me. I suspect he's also involved with the underworld. I suggest you investigate his identity thoroughly. You might uncover a criminal network."
The officers thought this made sense. After exchanging glances, they said to Ming Li on the wall, "Young lady, you'll have to come with us as well. We need you to give a statement at the station."
Ming Li nodded. "Alright."
Saying this, she jumped directly from the wall, over five meters high, making the officers below watch with pounding hearts.
Seeing Ming Li land safely, Officer Zhang breathed a sigh of relief and patted her shoulder. "How did you get up on such a high wall?"
Ming Li replied, "I jumped."
Officer Zhang was speechless. Was she kidding? Was that something a normal person could jump up to?
In the end, Ming Li followed the officers back to the police station.
After giving her statement, Officer Zhang asked her to wait a moment before leaving.
Ming Li raised her eyebrows and obediently sat in a chair, sipping the plain water in her hand.
More than ten minutes later, Officer Zhang walked over to Ming Li with his hat and car keys. "Let's go. You've been targeted by criminals from the underworld. To ensure your safety, the police have specially assigned me to protect you."
Ming Li raised her eyebrows and said in a faint voice, "No need. They can't beat me."
Officer Zhang was speechless.
After a moment of speechlessness, Officer Zhang looked at Ming Li with a serious expression. "This isn't about whether they can beat you or not. They have weapons. You can't joke with your life!"
Ming Li wanted to say that even if they had guns, they couldn't defeat her, but she knew he wouldn't believe her if she said it. Thinking this, Ming Li decided not to waste her breath.
